Premium Level IV Silicon Carbide Body Armor Plate – Lightweight Multi-Hit Rifle Protection
When maximum rifle protection matters, every pound matters too.
The Legacy Safety & Security Premium Level IV Body Armor Plate combines serious rifle-threat protection with an exceptionally lightweight Silicon Carbide ceramic construction designed for professionals who don’t want to carry unnecessarily heavy armor.
Our 10×12 Level IV plate is in the 5 lb weight class and features a single-curve, shooter-cut design for improved mobility and a more comfortable fit inside compatible tactical plate carriers.
Premium Silicon Carbide Construction
Not all ceramic body armor is the same.
This premium Legacy Level IV plate utilizes Silicon Carbide, a high-performance ceramic material valued for its combination of hardness and reduced weight.
The result is a Level IV armor system designed for users who want serious rifle protection while keeping their tactical loadout as light and mobile as possible.
Independently Ballistic Tested
Legacy Safety & Security believes armor performance should be backed by testing—not just marketing.
A Legacy LSS-IV test sample weighing approximately 5.29 lbs underwent independent ballistic testing at Oregon Ballistic Laboratories using .30 caliber M2AP armor-piercing ammunition.
The sample was subjected to three M2AP impacts with zero penetrations recorded.
Testing was conducted in accordance with an abbreviated/modified NIJ-STD-0101.06 Level IV testing protocol.

Why Carry More Weight Than You Need?
Body armor weight adds up quickly.
A plate that saves even a pound compared with a heavier alternative can reduce a front-and-back armor setup by approximately two pounds.
That difference becomes increasingly important during:
- Long patrol shifts
- Tactical operations
- Active-threat response
- Security assignments
- Firearms training
- Emergency response
- Extended plate-carrier wear
Reducing unnecessary armor weight can help improve mobility, endurance and overall comfort without abandoning the high level of protection demanded from rifle armor.
Designed for Serious Users
The Legacy Premium Level IV Silicon Carbide Armor Plate is an excellent choice for:
- Law enforcement officers
- Sheriff’s departments
- Tactical teams
- Military personnel
- Security professionals
- First responders
- Government agencies
- Firearms instructors
- Emergency preparedness
- Responsible civilian armor owners
Single-Curve Shooter-Cut Design
Protection shouldn’t unnecessarily restrict movement.
The single-curve profile contours toward the body while the shooter-cut upper corners provide additional room for shoulder and arm movement.
This makes the plate well suited for tactical applications where mobility and weapon handling are important.
Premium Level IV Protection Without Premium Weight
There is a major difference between buying armor based solely on price and choosing armor designed around protection, weight and performance.
Legacy Safety & Security built its reputation around one simple idea:
The best armor is armor you can actually wear when you need it.
Our premium Silicon Carbide Level IV plate gives you serious rifle protection while keeping unnecessary weight off your plate carrier.
LIGHTER ARMOR. SERIOUS PROTECTION.
Your Safety and Security is Our Legacy.
